I think that the previous tabs I've seen for this song are good, but I just wanted to
submit my own take on the song. It requires some fast movement from the very top of the
neck back down to the bottom and there are many fast and slightly complex fingerings
which makes me think of it as an intermediate song. This is my first bass tab and I would
really love your feedback. Enjoy!~
This is the main riff played throughout the verses. it will have a different ending
depending on how many times it has been played.
